meh, doubt it, uk is treated like shit from sony. they mifgt mesn the 20gb version, though the pic is of 60gb isnt it?

Global shortage of diodes, huh? I still think it wasn't fair for the UK to miss out on this console. In any case, I wonder if this is the 20GB or the 60GB version?

Bah, I work in an electronics store, we have hundreds of diodes, illl swap some with Sony for a PS3 if they want :) £335, sound ok for the 60Gb version, but i'll wager it's gonna be for the 20Gb

20GB PS3 aint coming to the UK. Only 60GB :)

If really is just the 60GB version to the UK, well that's all good then. That £335 price tag wouldn't be too bad for that model. (I remember when the first version of the PS2 was launched, it was then being sold at £400.)

this could turn out true if you think about it. the £ sterling is now so strong sony could lower the price and still make the same return as they do in america. If this is true the i love sony i was alright on paying the £425 :p

edit:
also game is the biggest UK games retailer so i doubt they would cock something like this up

i remember some places bein as much as £700. a friend of mine had 1 when they were 1st released and his mother (as braindead as she is) paid £700. and not from ebay!!

cos we have to pay more for everything and we get consoles and games last. rest europe pays a bit less than us but still lots compared to yanks and japanese. Eg; in the US the 360 is $400 but here its £280, which translates to about $560. PS3 is meant to cost £440 here but $600 in US (£300). this is what im getting at. also phil harrison (sony exec) said european gamers didn't mind waiting for new hardware, the twat.

Oh yeah on that you're spot on, we always tend to pay more here.. especially for electronic goods. As far as waiting, i'm more than happy to wait. We're gonna get a much better launch lineup of games, a PS3 with the latest firmware and the initial glitches sorted out. Oh and a much better price than i expected if the £335 is true.

If this price is accurate, I will rescind my comments about $ony.

i suppose getting things last can benefit us from time to time, but sony lost a customer in me as i may not have reconsidered my next gen choice if ps3 was out here in november.
